It's just a week until the deadline for RIs.
By and large I've been very pleased about how punctually you have submitted first drafts, and a majority have also given me an (optional) second draft to mark, which is great.
The standard has also been very good, with some first drafts needing very few changes indeed. Main problems have been missing sections, or sections which have been very short.
All of you should look over your introductions and ask whether you have a suitable amont of background research, and how relevant it is. Also, ensure that your discussion section contains all three parts - comparison of results to previous research, evaluation of methods and ethics, and broader implications/conclusions.
It is important not to forget the smaller sections too. Generally, references have been missing or incorrectly structured. Make sure that your write-ups are neatly presented, and have the correct headings (see the two examples in the textbook if you're unsure). Make sure it looks nice on the page, and again, avoid the use of first-person pronouns, and superfluous capital letters!
Added together, there are 7 marks for references plus presentation/style - compared to 5 for your background research part of the intro. So pay attention to these smaller details, don't let marks trickle away.
